Cotton-cashmere polo knit that bridges the gap between sweater and shirt
Most polos are cut from piqué or interlock, fabrics designed to mimic the structure of a woven shirt. That's why they feel rigid across the shoulders and trap heat when you move. A twelve-gauge jersey knit changes the equation entirely: you get the collar and placket of a polo with the drape and breathability of a fine sweater. The five percent cashmere is just enough to soften the cotton without adding warmth or demanding dry cleaning, so the piece works across seasons instead of sitting in a drawer ten months a year. If you've ever wanted a polo that feels as comfortable as your favorite T-shirt but reads a level more considered, this is the construction that delivers it.
Good gift when

The maker
Taylor Stitch built its reputation on rethinking wardrobe basics using better materials and construction methods that make sense for how people actually dress. The Nichols Polo is part of that approach: instead of defaulting to the usual piqué fabric, they treated the polo as a knit and chose a twelve-gauge jersey that drapes and breathes like a sweater. The organic cotton comes from suppliers who avoid synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, and the cashmere is blended in at just five percent to soften the hand without turning this into a cold-weather piece. The result is a polo that works across seasons and feels as comfortable as your favorite T-shirt, but reads a level more considered. It's the kind of piece that earns its place in a streamlined wardrobe by doing one thing well instead of trying to be everything at once.
The details
Most polos sit uncomfortably between dressy and casual, too stiff to relax in and too sporty to elevate an outfit. This one solves the problem by treating the polo as a lightweight knit rather than a piqué shirt. The twelve-gauge jersey drapes like a fine sweater, while the full milano rib collar and placket give structure where you need it without the usual cotton-poly crispness.
The blend is ninety-five percent organic cotton with five percent cashmere, enough to soften the hand and take the edge off cotton's texture without turning this into a precious cold-weather piece. You get the breathability and ease of cotton with a surface that feels gentler against skin and holds its shape better over a long day.
The rib construction at the cuffs and hem keeps edges tidy without elastic or banding, so sleeves stay put when you push them up and the bottom doesn't ride or flare. The collar holds a clean line whether you wear it open or fastened, and the milano rib on the placket means the closure lies flat instead of puckering.
This is the polo you reach for when a T-shirt feels too casual and a button-down feels like effort. It works over a base layer in spring, on its own through summer, and under a jacket when the temperature drops. The knit construction breathes better than woven fabric, so you stay comfortable indoors and out without constantly adjusting layers.
Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry. The cashmere content and fine gauge mean machine washing will shorten its life, but the care routine is straightforward if you treat it like any other knit worth keeping.

Questions
- Does the cashmere make this a cold-weather piece?
- No. The cashmere is five percent of the blend, enough to soften the cotton and improve drape without adding warmth. The twelve-gauge jersey is lightweight and breathes well, so you can wear this comfortably in warm weather and layer it when temperatures drop.
- Can I machine wash this polo?
- Hand washing cold and laying flat to dry is recommended. The cashmere content and fine gauge mean machine washing will cause pilling and shrinkage over time, even on a delicate cycle.
- How does the fit compare to a traditional polo?
- The jersey knit drapes closer to a sweater than a woven polo, so it follows your shape without clinging. If you're between sizes and prefer a more relaxed fit, size up; if you want a trim silhouette, take your usual size.
- Will the collar hold its shape after washing?
- Yes. The full milano rib construction on the collar and placket is denser than the jersey body, so it maintains structure even after repeated wear and washing. Laying it flat to dry helps it keep its original shape.
